well duh 
I was just trying to be excited for Mozi, to see and hear his FR-S in particular instead of some random one.

yeah the FR-S is pretty affordable for as nice as it looks.
it can certainly be more if you go crazy with the dealer options, but there's really no need to.
Scion (like Toyota cars) take very well to bolt-on mods.

Unless you are getting massive pussy with that car, then this thread is not worth keeping open.
says the guy who just replied in it
He's also a virgin, so I'm sure his response was actually a scientific one.
My uncle sold his Porsche 4S (rare car) and bought the BRZ (Subaru version of the F-RS). Got the limited white version of it, had to call 13 dealerships for it. Paid MSRP for it (which he has never done in his life) and the result?
Loves it more than the Porsche. Even though it has less power, it's more fun to drive. He is completely happy with the purchase, and still has an extra 20k after selling the Porsche. My only gripe is that he lives in the city, so he got the automatic version. I don't blame him for wanting an automatic, but he has plenty of other cars to use and I think he should have stuck with manual. Apparently the automatic gets better MPG though, which is odd.
BRZ finished 4th on Motor Trend's 2012 Best Cars to Drive, going up against the GT-R, Lambo, Porsche, Shelby, and others. Given that it was by far the slowest of the lot, 4th place is pretty impressive and says a lot about the car.
I have to say, when the final specs of this car were first announce I was rather disappointed. Toyota had been touting it to be the successor of the Supra, so I was expecting a monster under the hood. When I heard it was only 200 hp I wrote it off, but seeing all the reviews on how everything else comes together to make it an absolute fun driving experience I've changed my tune. I would still like to see a few more ponies, though.
If I had to pick, I think I favor the BRZ slightly of the two. I like the front a little better. I wouldn't complain if I had to go with the Scion, though.

Wait 'til the BRZ STI
That was my first thought too. 200hp? That's it? Then my uncle said that 200 is great. It's a very light weight car, so that 200hp, really pushes the car. If they do in fact make an STI version of the BRZ, holy hell. I know Greddy and a few other are already getting like 400hp out of these cars. Which, as light as it is, is crazy.
Although it may not be a "true" successor to the Supra, time will tell what they plan to do with. I have heard that they plan to release one with a turbo in the future for the F-RS version. As far as I know, Subaru has no plans to do anything with it's current model, other than make a convertible one. Which, from the mock ups, look totally rad. Reading up on the older Supra's tells me that they kept getting better engines as time went on. I'm sure this will also be the case, from the factory. Not to mention what 3rd party companies plan to do with the car. It is lighter than the stock Supra was, so that decrease in power probably have very similar results to a stock Supra that is close to equal as the FR-S is.
Either way, I want one. I don't care which one.
While you guys keep talking I just want to say driving the FR-S all around Plano is good fun.
Carry on.
Carry on.
According to Top Gear UK with the story they did on the engineers at Toyota who designed this car as the successor to the AE86, they were toying with the idea of bringing back the Supra and that the option wasn't out of question. So, after the success of this car, I'm sure there are people at Toyota considering bringing it back.
